<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 3027535, member: 38692&quot;]Yeah that 2 appears now and again on a few obsoletes, always reminds me of the big lazy deuce that appeared on early nationals. Hell, almost every denomination engraving or marker on a note after 1815 was a protector of some sort. The colored overprint protectors, hell the engravings had five heads, five cherubs, five images of coins, anything to make raising the notes that much harder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I posted and immediately fell behind - had an interment to attend, a memorial dinner to plan and pay for, and an Irish wake to attend,all on Friday and Saturday - so yeah, I dropped the ball, so let&#039;s pick it back up shall we with this nice $10 obsolete from the fun state of Indiana. Those Farmers and Drovers had to put their money somewhere, why not in a bank of their own? And speaking of protectors, the reverse is chock full of them - the colored overprint, it has the denomination, in color, with the roman numeral, and yep - there are ten of them! I like this design and it&#039;s a nice rich example of a quality obsolete from the late 1850&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]754087[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]754088[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
